# ${color}[#0080dd](Use custom colors)

Custom colors are now managed from **Settings → Chatbox Settings → Chatbox Appearance → Chatbox Theme → Advanced Chatbox Customization**.

In the advanced customization UI, you pick the main baseline colors and Crisp automatically generates the lighter and darker variants used by the chatbox. This keeps the design coherent while giving you control over your brand colors.

| When a custom color is configured, the predefined color selector will direct you back to **Advanced Chatbox Customization** instead of overwriting your custom theme.
